If you don't know what to do with your life and have no real interests, the military isn't a bad option. Good benefits, good on resume, and it'll teach you to be strong.

Get your apprenticeship at your local union going and be making 120k a year after 3 years of hard work. Dont loose the idea that hard work is peasant work.. hard work brings hard money and thats the truth, unless you want to be a faggot working at starbucks for minimum wage.

What were you studying?

yeah i think that too
im from germanistan, what do you mean with local union?
my idea was to be a teacher, lasted 2 semesters but i still like the idea of teaching people per se but not now and not in this branche

Improve your ability to be social (making connections will help you down the road)

Figure out where your passions are (not shit like video games, something you can make money in)

Make money doing said passions

Prepare to become your own boss

You can make money in video games tho

>Figure out where your passions are (not shit like video games, something you can make money in)
thats the hard part, im looking and looking after jobs etc but there isnt anything really interesting for me (besides military)
its a shitty situation and i will call the army to get an interview but i also want to look for other things

Im old as shit and my greatest regret hands down is not traveling all over the world while I was still young. I was just so concerned with chasing girls and getting laid in my early 20's. That was fun, but you can still do that while you're traveling, would be even more exciting. And who knows who you'd meet? Go have some fucking crazy experiences man.....money isn't everything.

im not really interested in traveling the world
maybe visiting a few countries in my holidays but not more

I'm 19yo so not much experience to give lol, but if you like the army then do that and if you can, then move to USA military and try to get into some pentagon jobs or CIA. That's what I would do. I know it's all for Israel, but if you can climb the ranks and get in on the special classified info then that would be pretty cool imo. Then you could also move into politics. It's all a social game so try to improve your social skills.

As far as money goes, just keep investing as much as possible into some index funds that yield 7-10% a year. Oh and go ALL IN on [Redacted].

im afraid they will deny because i did some shit and got to the court

Fuck off yes you can but it's not likely.

My point is stop wasting your life on things like that, you get absolutely NOTHING out of games. Just wasted youth.

Inb4 cognitive studies

You can get the same effect from playing sports with the added benefit of making friends and improving your health.

I travelled the world in my twenties. I took a job that would allow me to live in different countires for months at a time.

Now I'm in my mid 30's and can't find a real career to save my fookin life. I just wish I'd have stayed at some wagecuck job and stacked money. If I don't get a real job soon it's all over for me.

dont let them talk you into infantry

i was in the military too (not in the us tho), and you can get way more out of it when you directly go to an engineering/trade path since you can use that skills in civil life too

if you consider staying there, try to go the direct route for a sergeant+rank or to become an officer

i would like to become an officier though, dont want to be a lowrank infantrist

I made friends and money from games. As well as gaining the experience of being truly elite at something. Doubtful I'll be the 0.01% in anything else. With that said focusing on other things is usually more worthwhile.

Just like Jow Forums makes you a lot of money and improves your health and helps you enjoy your youth? lol

you also have to consider that the path to becoming an officer is also very physically and psychically demanding, be prepared to have marches with 50-120km with around 20kg of weight

idk about the usa but we had some manoeuvers wher we stayed in the woods with no possibility to wash and limited sleep (no more than 4-6h per day), and i was only in to become a sergant in the militia

The dude who made Stardew Valley made the game while working part time at a movie theatre and is now a multi millionaire. Cope.

yeah im aware of that thx

I'm old. My advice, absolutely no girlfriend or boyfriend until you get accomplished and 100% free professionally and financially.
Learn to maintain your social connections, especially your family ties to the wider family if you have a good one.
This guy is also right:

Did 4 years in the muhrines as a grunt. Never again.

>can't go in military because ADHD
>meanwhile if I chopped my dick off and thought I was a woman trapped in a man's body, that's just fine

thanks for the advice goys

Well, I woukd join the army. Did it once and if you enlist for 2 years, then you can re-enlist for a nice fat bonus and new duty station. Take what you make from the army and set up a CD savings, giving it max time before maturity and putting a small fraction of your cash there. The rest, look into index funds like vangaurd that allow you to make steady money over the long term because you’re “buying the haystack” and the market always wins while individual securities lose over the long term consistent trading due to the trading fees. Play it smart, play it steady and sure, take risks now and then but only with excess money you save after putting it in safe places. If you DO find new opperunities, make sure to understand what fees/taxes/risks you’re working with and dont let greed make you spend more than you can stand to lose.

you would need video games to have a purpose in life; without dopamine, life is dull, video games would provide 1)the needed strength to reach your aims 2)culture 3)an interesting life

in short, without any strong enough engine to pull you through, and any reasons to have an aim, you'll end up miserable, after asking yourself "why"

Joining the army is not a bad idea especially if you go into comms or engineering. You don't have to spend any wages. Fat pension. Discipline. Walk into all kinds of good jobs afterwards. I recommend if you've ever thought about it. Strictly non combat though..get a skill.
